To meet the needs of flood survivors FEMA and state officials acted quickly to prepare sites for temporary housing.

Contractors started work on Park's Manor, a site preserved by the state for emergency housing.  

Workers connected water, electrical and sanitary systems.

The house comes stocked with everything needed to make this unit a home, such as stoves, refrigerators, beds, and dressers, and a weather alert radio too.

While the houses were set up state and federal officials held meetings in the hardest hit areas of Southern West Virginia.  They met with disaster survivors to answer questions about housing.  Over the next few weeks, those who suffered so much will have a temporary house to call home.
